AND ITS AFFILIATES (“SELLER“) TO THE BUYER SET FORTH ON THE PURCHASE ORDER ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE QUOTATION (“BUYER“) ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED ON BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THESE “TERMS AND CONDITIONS”). FOR PURPOSES OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER MAY BE REFERRED TO HEREIN AS A “PARTY” OR COLLECTIVELY AS THE “PARTIES”. THE QUOTATION (THE “QUOTATION”) AND THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SELLER AND BUYER AND SUPERSEDE ALL PREVIOUS OR CONTEMPORANEOUS NEGOTIATIONS, DISCUSSIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. SELLER WILL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY TERMS OF BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER DOCUMENT THAT ARE ADDITIONAL OR INCONSISTENT WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND ALL SUCH TERMS ARE HEREBY REJECTED AND WILL HAVE NO FORCE OR EFFECT. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR WAIVED BY A WRITING SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER REFERENCING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. Terms and Conditions.
Buyer’s submission of a Purchase Order for the purchase of Products, whether in response to a Quotation, sales order, or any other Seller document, will be deemed an acceptance of and agreement to these Terms and Conditions to the exclusion of any other terms or conditions contained in and/or referenced by such Purchase Order or other document, whether or not specifically accepted by Seller in writing or otherwise, and notice of objection to, and rejection of any such other terms or conditions is hereby given. Any acceptance by Seller of any offer or counteroffer from Buyer is expressly conditioned on Buyer’s assent to and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
2. Order and Acceptance.
All orders for Products shall be made by written purchase order by the Seller (any, a “Purchase Order”). No Purchase Order shall be binding upon Seller until accepted by Seller in writing, in Seller’s sole discretion, and Seller shall have no liability to Buyer with respect to Purchase Orders that are not accepted. Buyer shall submit Purchase Orders to Seller in accordance with Seller’s then current lead times.
3. Delivery, Shipping, Risk of Loss.
Seller will use reasonable efforts to deliver Products at the times specified in Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s Purchase Order, provided, however, that all delivery dates are estimates only and deliveries may be in installments. All Products delivered hereunder will be suitably packed for shipment in Seller’s standard containers and shipped CPT (Carriage Paid To; Incoterms 2020) to a named port or terminal specified in Buyer’s Purchase Order (“Delivery Point“), at which time risk of loss from any casualty and title pass to Buyer. All freight, insurance and other shipping expenses from the Delivery Point will be borne by Buyer.
4. Acceptance of Products.
Buyer shall accept or reject Products within seven (7) calendar days after receipt for failure to substantially conform to Seller’s published specifications. If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of its rejection and a detailed explanation of any alleged deficiencies within such period, Buyer will be conclusively deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Products. Upon receipt of any rejection notice from Buyer, Seller shall review and advise Buyer to return or destroy such non-conforming Product. Buyer shall not return to Seller or destroy any non-conforming Product unless instructed to do so by Seller. If instructed by Seller to do so, Buyer must return to Seller or destroy, in accordance with Seller’s instructions, any such non-conforming Products within 60 calendar days after receipt of such instruction from Seller. Seller may conduct further examination that such alleged deficiencies actually exist and were not caused by accident, neglect, misuse, alteration by or of Buyer.
5. Price.
Prices for Products shall be as listed in the Quotation to which these Terms and Conditions are attached (“Purchase Price“). If the Quotation has expired, Seller has the right to revise the Purchase Price without notice to Buyer. Price increases will apply to all Purchase Orders received after the effective date of the price revision. The Purchase Price is exclusive of all customs, duties, taxes and tariffs and all national, state, and local taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future. Any such tax, fee or charge imposed by any governmental authority on the transaction between Seller and Buyer will be paid by the Buyer in addition to the Purchase Price. If Seller is required to pay any tax, fee or charge at the time of sale or thereafter, Buyer will promptly reimburse Seller therefor.
6. Payment Terms.
Payment terms shall be in accordance with the Quotation unless otherwise designated by Seller. Buyer will make payments in United States dollars by check or wire transfer to an account designated by Seller. Invoices not paid when due will bear interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less. If Seller undertakes collection or enforcement efforts, Buyer shall be liable for all costs thereof, including attorney’s fees.
7. Proprietary Rights.
Seller retains all proprietary rights in and to all intellectual property, including composition, formulation and other data pertaining to the Products. The sale of Products by Seller to Buyer does not grant to, convey or confer upon Buyer, a license, express or implied, under any patent right, copyright, or other intellectual property right of Seller covering or relating to any use other than is consistent with the labeling of such Product.
8. Confidentiality.
Buyer shall not disclose the terms of the Quotation or these Terms and Conditions to any other person or entity outside its organization and affiliates except to its legal counsel, financial advisors, or auditors. All specifications, samples, and other data furnished by Seller to Buyer will be treated as Seller’s confidential information, will remain Seller’s property, and will be returned to Seller upon request. -2-

Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Seller’s liability and Buyer’s remedies arising out of or related to the Products, exceed the Purchase Price paid by Buyer for the Products giving rise to such liability.
